26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner (7f) on good ground at Limerick last summer; has been error-prone over hurdles; best effort when winning at Galway last October; fit from a recent Flat outing at this venue; not suited by the race conditions. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (12) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
10st 1lb |
Limerick win last summer came over 7f (good); similar level of form hurdling (won Galway maiden), jumping has let him down of late; unproven over this far. |
20/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Off the mark over hurdles in a Galway maiden at the fourth attempt in October (2m, yielding); failed to build on that at Punchestown; well held by Mode Avion on that evidence. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |

Tailed off in last three starts; still early days but hard to fancy on evidence so far. |

5th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Tailed off on chase debut last time; hasn't had much racing and he was second in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in February (2m, heavy), albeit some 12l off the winner; all his form is in the mud, except when well beaten in a good-ground bumper. |
9/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
11st 10lb |
Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 0lb |
French bumper winner; 4yo won easily on handicap bow at Fairyhouse in February (16.5f, heavy); came up short off 14lb higher back there on latest when 1lb wrong and similar story here; would probably prefer softer ground. |
25/1 |

6th 18 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark in 4yo C&D handicap in February (heavy) and better again when a clear second to a strong favourite in 2m1f Limerick conditions event last month on similar ground under today's rider, conceding plenty of weight; 1lb wrong but could go well off light weight. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Fair third at Punchestown on Irish debut in November, with In The Minus back in fourth; modest efforts on next two starts before coming good with an emphatic Fairyhouse handicap win last month; raised 11lb to a very respectable 128. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 4lb |
Has had a busy time since sent hurdling last August; three wins include two over 2m at this venue, including in a handicap with this rider aboard; form has been uneven; bounced back from a dismal Fairyhouse run when second at Navan, again for this rider. |

Limited on the Flat and big prices when tailed off on both hurdle starts to date; safe to rule out. |

9th 2 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Consistent last season; ended with C&D second behind today's rival Retracement on handicap debut; jumping let her down in juvenile hurdles; sharpened for return to the Flat by a handicap run at the Punchestown festival. |
8/1 |
|
10th 25 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
10st 13lb |
98-rated good-ground Flat winner; unseated at the first in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 in November and tailed off in a Grade 2 contest at Leopardstown over Christmas (2m, yielding); didn't jump fluently when 16l behind the Mark Walsh-ridden Proactif at Fairyhouse in January; goes handicapping now but Walsh rides Saveforarainyday. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
98-rated good ground Flat winner; weakened into fourth on hurdles debut at Punchestown (2m, heavy) before unseating at the first in a C&D Grade 3 when 11-1 (yielding to soft); made no impression in a Leopardstown Grade 2 (2m, yielding) when second-string for the owner last time, and once again owner appears to have a better fancied candidate in Proactif. |
